You can make changes to LDAP directory information and LDAP authentication settings only if synchronization with the customer LDAP directory is enabled in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration LDAP System window.

Use the following topics to configure LDAP authentication information:

Updating LDAP Authentication Information

Use the following procedure to update LDAP authentication information.

Before You Begin

The setting of the Enable Synchronizing from LDAP Server check box in the LDAP System Configuration window affects your ability to modify LDAP authentication settings. If synchronization with the LDAP server is enabled, you cannot modify LDAP directory information and LDAP authorization settings. Refer to the "Understanding the Directory" section on page 20-1 for more information about LDAP synchronization.

Conversely, if you want to enable administrators to modify LDAP directory information and LDAP authorization settings, you must disable synchronization with the LDAP server.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose System > LDAP > LDAP Authentication.

The LDAP Authentication window displays.

Step 2 Enter the appropriate configuration settings as described in Table 16-1.

Note You can only access this field if LDAP authentication for end users is enabled.

Use SSL

Check this check box to use SSL encryption for security purposes.

Note If LDAP over SSL is required, the corporate directory SSL certificate must be loaded into Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide documents the certificate upload procedure in the Security chapter.
